---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
10-12-23 | Braves -1.5 v. Phillies | 1-3 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 37 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #943 Atlanta (-1.5 RL) over Philadelphia (8:07p.m., Thursday, October 12 TBS) Just feel like the Braves have one last winning streak in them. They have the rotation set up for Game 4 and Game 5 and have a decisive pitching advantage in this game. Just do not feel Ranger Suarez can go deep into this game like his counterpart can. Sooner or later the Braves offense will make some noise and they are overdue to win one of these games comfortably. |

10-12-23 | Rangers v. Sabres +118 | 5-1 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 28 m | Show | |
After many matchups of dominance in this series, Buffalo won the last two meetings, one in shootout and one in OT. Even when the Rangers were winning, these games were close, with their last four wins coming by only a goal, two in OT. But Buffalo is a team we are very high on this year. We think this is a playoff team and they are going to be very hard to beat at home. They had one of the best offenses in the NHL last season and could be even better in 2023, and there’s a good chance they will improve their defense and goaltending. The Rangers have dominated this series for so long, but the tide is turning here and there is no way that Buffalo won’t bring their A Game in their home opener when the fans finally have a reason to be really excited. We had the Sabres as a slight favorite here, and we think there is great value in the moneyline tonight. |
|||||||
10-11-23 | Liberty +5 v. Aces | Top | 76-104 | Loss | -110 | 32 h 22 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #631 New York Liberty over Las Vegas Aces (9p.m., Wednesday, October 11 ESPN) WNBA Playoff Game of the Year. The 2023 WNBA Playoffs have been a snooze fest thus far and the league, tv partners, and fans really need New York to win this game straight-up to create some excitement. The Liberty were ahead at halftime before faltering in the second half. All the games against the Aces for the Liberty have been blowouts one way or the other. The Liberty have won their fair share of games against the Aces and I am confident they will bounce back on Wednesday. Sooner or later one of these games will go down to the wire and this way be that game. New York has the best player on the floor and they have the size to contend with Las Vegas in the post. The Aces are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 WNBA Finals Games. The desperate team wins and we collect big in the process. |
|||||||
10-11-23 | Canadiens v. Maple Leafs -1.5 | Top | 5-6 | Loss | -116 | 4 h 34 m | Show |
This is one of the greatest rivalries in all of sports and this is always the biggest game of the season for the Canadiens when they face off with Toronto. And, despite the talent disparity, Montreal normally put up a good fight or outright won the last few years. But these teams are going in different directions, and Toronto may have one of their best squads of all time this season, while Montreal is still a long way from being competitive and should be among the worst teams in the NHL this season. And the last two meetings, both in Toronto, were very one-sided as both were blowouts and the Maple Leafs had a goal differential of +10 in those two matchups. Toronto will not only want to get the season started off on the right foot but also take their main rival down a peg in the process, and with a bitter rivalry like this, there is also an incentive for the better team to run up the score, as we witnessed in the last two meetings. We expect more domination from Toronto here and a big season-opening win |
|||||||
10-10-23 | Blackhawks v. Penguins OVER 6.5 | 4-2 | Loss | -120 | 9 h 50 m | Show | |
Two straight in this series have gone over the posted total as well as five of the last seven. We think these offenses will be ahead of the defenses to start the season and expect both teams to find the back of the net for multiple goals, and the Pens should put up a big number here in the home opener. Chicago always plays well enough on offense when these two meet to where we don’t have to worry about a shutout or one-goal effort. |
|||||||
10-10-23 | Orioles v. Rangers -1.5 | 1-7 | Win | 147 | 9 h 59 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #926 Texas (-1.5 RL) over Baltimore (8:03p.m., Tuesday, October 10 FOX) It ends tonight! The Rangers will take care of business at home and advance to the ALCS next week at either Houston or Minnesota. Baltimore has been getting behind early and that is trouble for this young team. Texas is starting to figure out their bullpen and expect them to take care of business on Tuesday behind Nathan Eovaldi. |
|||||||
10-09-23 | Diamondbacks +147 v. Dodgers | 4-2 | Win | 147 | 10 h 51 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #919 Arizona +140 over Los Angeles (9:07p.m., Monday, October 9 TBS) Both of these plays provide value and we expect at least one of them to hit. Arizona and Philadelphia were not as strong as their counterparts during the regular season, but both of them are throwing their ace on Monday. These are power pitchers and that is the key to success in the postseason. The pressure is entirely on the Bravers and Dodgers, as they cannot afford to fall down 0-2 in these best of 5 series. I think at least one of them will lose tonight. |
|||||||
10-09-23 | Packers -1 v. Raiders | 13-17 | Loss | -110 | 124 h 53 m | Show | |
10 Unit Play. Take #475 Green Bay Packers over Las Vegas Raiders (8:15p.m., Monday, October 9 ESPN) Just not a fan of the Raiders this season with their coach/quarterback combination. They are coming off 3 straight defeats and the last two were against teams that might not even make the playoffs. Green Bay is a better team that what their 2-2 record indicates and do not want to fall below .500 with this young quarterback. The Packers will have a huge crowd in Las Vegas for this game and expect no home field advantage for the Raiders. Josh McDaniels can only beat the Broncos, as they struggled against every other team. The Packers have beaten the Raiders 8 straight games. |
|||||||
10-09-23 | Phillies +144 v. Braves | 4-5 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 51 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #917 Philadelphia +140 over Atlanta (6:07p.m., Monday, October 9 TBS) Both of these plays provide value and we expect at least one of them to hit. Arizona and Philadelphia were not as strong as their counterparts during the regular season, but both of them are throwing their ace on Monday. These are power pitchers and that is the key to success in the postseason. The pressure is entirely on the Bravers and Dodgers, as they cannot afford to fall down 0-2 in these best of 5 series. I think at least one of them will lose tonight. |
|||||||
10-09-23 | Ottawa +6.5 v. Montreal | 3-29 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 43 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #687 Ottawa +6 over Montreal (1p.m., Monday, October 9 CBSSN) The Holiday Weekend continues on Monday with this afternoon game in the CFL. These two teams played last week and turnovers were again the story. Ottawa moved the football up and down the field but were done in by turnovers. The RedBlacks can score points and thus should be able to cover this 6 point spread. Montreal is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 Monday Holiday games. If Ottawa can hand onto the football they should be able to emerge victorious. |
|||||||
10-08-23 | Cowboys v. 49ers -3.5 | 10-42 | Win | 100 | 100 h 58 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #474 San Francisco 49ers over Dallas Cowboys (8:20p.m., Sunday, October 8 NBC) Dallas just does not beat San Francisco and we will lay the points with the home team on Sunday Night Football. San Francisco is 12-1 in their last 13 home games when they are the favorite. The 49ers have also won 14 regular season games in a row. If San Francisco does not beat themselves in this game, they will win it by double digits. Dallas has some great flashes, but under Coach McCarthy they cannot be trusted in big games against better teams. |
|||||||
10-08-23 | Twins v. Astros -127 | 6-2 | Loss | -127 | 9 h 29 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #912 Houston over Minnesota (8:03p.m., Sunday, October 8 FS1) Houston was the only home team to win game 1 of the divisional series and expect them to take a commanding 2-0 lead in this series. Minnesota is not a strong playoff performing team and had their chances in game 1 but could not do any damage except for one inning. Framber Valdez gets a ton of run support and being a left-handed pitcher should help him neutralize some of the power that Minnesota has. Dusty Baker will manage better tonight, as Houston takes another game in this series. |
|||||||
10-08-23 | Jaguars +5.5 v. Bills | 25-20 | Win | 100 | 89 h 9 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #451 Jacksonville Jaguars over Buffalo Bills (9:30a.m., Sunday, October 8 NFLN) Always like backing the Jaguars in London. Buffalo is coming off a dominating game against a division opponent and look for there to be a letdown for them in this game. They are the home team and that will frustrate their rapid fan base and allow Jacksonville to cover the spread. Sooner or later, Trevor Lawrence is going to have a breakout game and I look for it to come on Sunday. Jacksonville takes this game down to the wire and we collect with whoever comes out on top. |
|||||||
10-07-23 | Twins v. Astros -1.5 | 4-6 | Win | 143 | 6 h 58 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #906 Houston (-1.5 RL) +140 over Minnesota (4:45p.m., Saturday, October 7 FS1) Taking Houston in the postseason is never a bad bet. Minnesota got the monkey off their back winning a game and a series, but I do not see them advancing to the Championship Series next week. Justin Verlander has been a big game pitcher since coming back to Houston, especially down the stretch. He has not been as strong in the postseason, but this should be a get right game for him in that respect. The Astros lineup will flex today and we will collect a nice underdog in the process. |
|||||||
10-07-23 | Kent State v. Ohio -25.5 | 17-42 | Loss | -111 | 71 h 10 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #356 Ohio Bobcats over Kent State Golden Flashes (3:30p.m., Saturday, October 7 ESPN+) The Bobcats have been a covering machine the last two years going 13-2 ATS in their last 15 games. The Golden Flashes are 1-4 on the season and their only win came against FCS Central Connecticut. Their other four games have been losses by 50, 22, 43, and 20 points. Ohio has revenge in this game having lost their last two games against Kent State. Ohio is coming off a bye and will be healthy and rested to blow out Kent State. We will lay the wood with the home team. |
|||||||
10-07-23 | Alabama v. Texas A&M +2.5 | 26-20 | Loss | -110 | 71 h 9 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #394 Texas A&M Aggies over Alabama Crimson Tide (3:30p.m., Saturday, October 7 CBS) Never like to fade Nick Saben especially with Jimbo Fisher on the other side, but this is more about Alabama really struggling on offense this season. Coach Fisher gets up for this game, and a victory today can get some of the fan base off of his back. A&M has not been as talented as Alabama the last few years, yet this game played them well. Look for the Aggies to shutdown the running quarterback and make them beat them through the air with long sustained drives. A&M has a wizard as offensive coordinator, and they will have some wrinkles that Alabama has yet to see. Grab the points with the more talented offensive team at home. |
|||||||
10-07-23 | Washington State v. UCLA -3.5 | 17-25 | Win | 100 | 71 h 39 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #379 Washington State Cougars over UCLA Bruins (3p.m., Saturday, October 7 P12N) Just feel the wrong team is favored in this game. Washington State has the better resume and they are on an us against the world type of run that we will back on Saturday. Their future is still unclear but the talent level in this game, especially on offense sides with the visitor. UCLA got exposed by Utah and they hardily get a home field advantage playing at the Rose Bowl. UCLA is starting a freshman quarterback and Wazzou has a major edge with Cam Ward behind center. The Cougars continues to make noise and getting them as a dog in this game is too good to pass up. |
|||||||
10-06-23 | Edmonton Elks v. Toronto OVER 48.5 | Top | 12-35 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 24 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take 681 OVER 48 in Edmonton Elks @ Toronto Argonauts (7p.m., Friday, October 6 CBSSN) CFL TOTAL OF THE YEAR Toronto comes into this matchup with the highest-scoring offense in the CFL, averaging 32.9 ppg (Edmonton averages 20.6). These two tangled in June and combined for 74 points. In the last 18 games between the Elks and Args, the OVER is 13-5. |
|||||||
10-04-23 | Diamondbacks +117 v. Brewers | 5-2 | Win | 117 | 9 h 41 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #957 Arizona over Milwaukee (7:08p.m., Wednesday, October 4 ESPN2) Arizona won last night against Milwaukee’s ace and now the visitor gets to throw their own ace on Wednesday. Milwaukee does not hit many home runs as a team and that is one of the key’s to success in the postseason. The Brewers burned their closer last night in a loss and their bullpen is overworked and I do not believe Freddy Peralta can go deep into this game. Zac Gallen has been solid this season and look for another strong showing on Wednesday. |
|||||||
10-03-23 | Diamondbacks v. Brewers OVER 7.5 | 6-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 54 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #949 Over in Arizona @ Milwaukee (7:08p.m., Tuesday, October 3 ESPN2) Expect some runs to be scored in this game, as both team have strong offensives. The Diamondbacks hit Cordin Burns hard earlier this season and he has not been going deep into games of late. Arizona will not be able to use one of their two aces in this game, as they left with Bradon Pfaadt and his 5.72 E.R.A. We will not worry if Milwaukee can cover this big number and instead just focus on the total. |
|||||||
10-02-23 | Seahawks v. Giants | 24-3 | Loss | -110 | 128 h 26 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #280 New York Giants over Seattle Seahawks (8:15p.m., Monday, October 2 ABC) The Giants are back from their west coast road trip with extra rest for this Monday Night Football game against the Seahawks. New York has been behind double-digits in each of their 3 games and that needs to change on Monday. They must start better and a 12-2 record when coming off a Thursday night is a positive sign. The Giants need this game with Buffalo and Miami on deck and they will get it in a grind out fashion. |
|||||||
10-01-23 | Rams +1 v. Colts | 29-23 | Win | 100 | 73 h 35 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #263 Los Angeles Rams over Indianapolis Colts (1p.m., Sunday, October 1 FOX) The Colts are coming off a fortunate win at Baltimore last week, and I just do not believe they can handle prosperity. They will likely have quarterback issues all season long, and the Rams are the more stable team with recent success. The Colts have lost 3 straight games to the Rams. Los Angeles has weapons to utilize this season, and this is an important win for them to avoid falling too far behind San Francisco in the standings. The Marshall Faulk bowl will go the way of the Rams. |
|||||||
10-01-23 | Falcons v. Jaguars -150 | 7-23 | Win | 100 | 69 h 5 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #252 Jacksonville Jaguars over Atlanta Falcons (9:30a.m., Sunday, October 1 ESPN+) I believe this line gives you a clue as to how the oddsmakers want you to bet. We will go the opposite way and take the 1-2 Jaguars as a favorite on the money line. Jacksonville is coming off a bad loss to Houston where they trailed the whole game and just could not get back on track. Sometimes those losses are easier to bounce back from. Jacksonville is much better at quarterback. And with Buffalo on deck, this is a game they need to grind out and win. |
|||||||
09-30-23 | Astros -116 v. Diamondbacks | 1-0 | Win | 100 | 10 h 34 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #977 Houston over Arizona (8:10p.m., Saturday, September 30 MLB.tv) Arizona would need a bunch of things to happen to not reach the postseason. They are basically in, but the same cannot be said for Houston. Justin Verlander is on the mound and look for him to follow-up his impressive performance on Monday and get the Astros a much needed victory. |
|||||||
09-30-23 | LSU -2.5 v. Ole Miss | 49-55 | Loss | -110 | 80 h 32 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #201 LSU Tigers over Ole Miss Rebels (6p.m., Saturday, September 30 ESPN) We went against Ole Miss last week and won by a touchdown over the posted number. We will do that again, as I just do not believe they are great on either side of the football. LSU has a much better offense compared to Alabama and they cannot afford another loss with a brutal schedule awaiting them. The Bayou Bengals were in a battle last week with Arkansas, but I never felt they were going to lose that game in the second half. They put up 34 points with ease and expect them to do the same this week against Ole Miss. The Rebels finally played a decent team and failed that test with flying colors last week. Look for Lane Kiffin and company to fall to 3-2 overall Saturday night. |
|||||||
09-30-23 | Michigan v. Nebraska +17.5 | 45-7 | Loss | -115 | 76 h 39 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #164 Nebraska Cornhuskers over Michigan Wolverines (3:30p.m., Saturday, September 30 FOX) Michigan continues to play an embarrassing nonconference schedule with cupcakes at home. This is the first road game of the season and I look for Nebraska to keep this one somewhat close. Michigan is not as strong as they have been the last two years and Nebraska should get better as the season progresses. Nebraska has been running the football of late and if they can do that on Saturday, they will be able to control the clock and keep the scoring low. Michigan has struggled to cover the spread this season and playing on the road should keep that streak going. |
|||||||
09-30-23 | Illinois +1 v. Purdue | 19-44 | Loss | -115 | 51 h 9 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #181 Illinois Fighting Illini over Purdue Boilermakers (3:30p.m., Saturday, September 28 Peacock) TOP NCAA PLAY OF THE WEEK The Illini has been bad this season and they are 0-4 ATS, but I refuse to believe they are as bad as they have looked. They were a strong team in 2022 with an identity of a strong running game and great defense, and they should be able to find that form in this game. Purdue is in a complete rebuild under a new coaching staff and they have already lost three home games this season. The Boilermakers opened as a favorite, but that line is moving towards the Illini -- with good reason. Illinois has revenge on their minds after losing to Purdue last year, and I like to back Bret Bielema in grind out games like this one likely will be. Purdue is 3-13 in their last 16 games when opening as a home favorite. Turnovers have killed Illinois this season, but if they take care of the football, they should win this game by double digits. |
|||||||
09-29-23 | Saskatchewan v. BC -10 | 26-33 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 19 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take 674 BC -10 vs. Saskatchewan (Friday, September 29th 10:30 PM) The BC Lion have the 3rd-highest scoring offense at 27.6 ppg, while Saskatchewan has the 3rd-lowest at 21.6 ppg. The Roughriders have the worst scoring defense at 30.4 points per game, while BC comes in again at the 3rd best, 22.0. Our models have the Lions winning by 20 points, so having to only lay half of that is like an early Halloween treat. BC is 6-3 ATS in its last 9 home games. Take the home team and lay the points. |
|||||||
09-29-23 | Cubs +103 v. Brewers | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 2 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #907 Chicago over Milwaukee (8:10p.m., Friday, September 29 MLB.tv) The Cubs are in a must win situation playing their rivals on Friday night at American Family Field in Milwaukee, WI. The Brewers are locked into the No. 3 seed and thus will just be setting their rotation for the playoffs next weekend. They would like to knock out the Cubs, but I just do not see them going all out to win games this weekend. Colin Rea has pitched better of late, but he does not have that great of numbers on the season. Kyle Henricks will not beat himself and look for him to leave with the lead before turning it over to the bullpen late in this game. |
|||||||
09-29-23 | Toronto v. Winnipeg OVER 48 | 21-31 | Win | 100 | 9 h 50 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take 671 OVER 48.5 in Toronto @ Winnipeg (Friday, September 29th 8:00 PM) As stated above, both teams are averaging over 31 ppg. The total has gone over 6 out of 7 times in the Blue Bombers last 7 contests. In the last 12 meetings between these 2 teams, the OVER is 10-2. Take these 2 squads OVER as they put on a display of offensive prowess. |
|||||||
09-29-23 | Toronto +7.5 v. Winnipeg | 21-31 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 50 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take 671 Toronto +7.5 against Winnipeg (Friday, September 29th 8:00 PM) A true clash of the CFL Titans, these are the top 2 offenses AND defenses in the league. The Args average 33.8 ppg, with Winnipeg coming in at 32.0. They are flipped on defense, as the Blue Bombers are allowing 20.9 ppg and Toronto 21.4. The Args have been road warriors recently, going 6-1 SU and 5-2 ATS in its last 7 road games. Meanwhile, Winnipeg has struggled slightly, going 2-4 in its last 6 games. Anytime you get to take a team that's ranked 1st and 2nd in scoring offense and defense, with a TD, grab them. PICK: Toronto and the points. |
|||||||
09-29-23 | Liberty -4 v. Sun | 92-81 | Win | 100 | 8 h 22 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #617 New York over Connecticut (7:30p.m., Friday, September 29 ESPN2) The Liberty have yet to play a complete game in this round of the WNBA playoffs. They are too good of a team for that not to occur at least once and that should occur tonight. New York will win this game by double digits. |
|||||||
09-28-23 | Lions v. Packers +2 | 34-20 | Loss | -110 | 32 h 25 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #102 Green Bay Packers over Detroit Lions (8:15p.m., Thursday, September 27 Prime) The Packers are getting healthy and Jordan love should have many more weapons available for this game than he has had in the first 3 weeks. Green Bay does not lose to Detroit often at Lambeau Field, but they did last year and thus we kept out of the playoffs. Green Bay played well in the second half against a better defense than what they will face on Thursday in Detroit. Getting points with the Packers is too good to pass up and we will side with the home team. |
|||||||
09-27-23 | Astros -118 v. Mariners | 8-3 | Win | 100 | 11 h 15 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #923 Houston over Seattle (9:40p.m., Wednesday, September 27 MLBN) This is the most important game of the season for both Houston and Seattle. The loser will be in trouble and might miss out on the 2023 playoffs starting next week. I just cannot envision the defending champions with this lineup missing the postseason altogether. Houston has the edge in pitching tonight with Framber Valdez on the mound compared to Byrce Miller. He was hit hard last time out against Texas giving up 6 earned runs in just over 4 innings of work. The Astros are better on both sides of the diamond tonight and will get this must win game by a couple of runs. They could not get the big hit last night but that will change on Wednesday. |
|||||||
09-26-23 | Astros +113 v. Mariners | 2-6 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 35 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #975 Houston over Seattle (10:05p.m., Tuesday, September 26 TBS) We have seen an inordinate number of sweeps from the AL West and it would not surprise me in Houston wins the first two games of this series. Cristian Javier receives a ton of run support and the Mariners are starting to play tight, losing 4 straight games. |
|||||||
09-26-23 | Wings v. Aces UNDER 175.5 | 84-91 | Win | 100 | 12 h 30 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #616 Under in Dallas Wings @ Las Vegas Aces (10p.m., Tuesday, September 26 ESPN) Look for the law of averages to come back to reality on Tuesday and the under will hit with a Dallas game. Both games should have stayed under in the first round, but Atlanta played a terrible style of basketball in the fourth quarter. The under has hit in 7 of the last 10 Aces home games. The Under has hit in 6 of the last 8 games in Las Vegas between Dallas and Vegas. |
|||||||
09-25-23 | Astros +116 v. Mariners | 5-1 | Win | 116 | 11 h 38 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #905 Houston over Seattle (9:40p.m., Monday, September 25 MLB.tv) Both teams come in limping and it is likely that one of them will miss the playoffs come next week. Texas has all but won the division and this is a must have series win for both teams. No way Justin Verlander should be an underdog with the line-up behind him. Luis Castillo is good but he has given up some runs in each of his last two starts to bad teams in Oakland and Los Angeles (AL). Houston has performed bad against Seattle this season but look for that to change on Monday. They have a champion pedigree and this is a game they need in the worst way. |
|||||||
09-24-23 | Saints v. Packers -2 | 17-18 | Loss | -110 | 97 h 22 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #460 Green Bay Packers over New Orleans Saints (1p.m., Sunday, September 24 FOX) Just not a fan of Coach Dennis Allen and the New Orleans Saints. The Packers should get some offensive lineman back for this game and this is their first home game of the season. The Saints are off a short week and will be playing back-to-back road games. Coach LaFleur is 5-0 in his career when playing against undefeated teams. Green Bay is 8-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 10 home openers. When good teams play in the NFL the team that needs it more generally gets it and the Packers certainly need it more. |
|||||||
09-24-23 | Patriots -2.5 v. Jets | 15-10 | Win | 100 | 97 h 22 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #547 New England Patriots over New York Jets (1p.m., Sunday, September 24 CBS) The Patriots are just not the same team without Tom Brady, but they can still beat the Jets. New England has dominated this matchup, winning 14 straight games and going 10-4 ATS during this span. Their average margin of victory is 18 points in the last 14 wins they have had against New York. The Patriots lost two home games to open the 2023 season, but they were competitive in both games with a chance late. They will dominate this game for 60 minutes. |
|||||||
09-23-23 | Mariners v. Rangers -121 | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 8 h 17 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #926 Texas over Seattle (7:05p.m., Saturday, September 23 MLB.tv) The Rangers struggled to put away the Mariners on Friday despite an 8-0 lead, but they won that game. Look for them to win the first two games behind Jordan Montgomery Saturday night. Left handers can neutral much of the Mariners power and look for that to be the case on Saturday. The AL West is down to three teams and look for treaky Seattle to drop the first two in this series. |
|||||||
09-23-23 | Colorado State v. Middle Tennessee State -2 | 31-23 | Loss | -110 | 104 h 27 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #420 Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders over Colorado State Rams (7p.m., Saturday, September 23 ESPN+) This is a tough ask for the Rams, as they will be playing their second straight road game and should have beaten Colorado last night out. That game in Boulder did not end until after midnight and I just believe that they are gassed and will not have anything left for this game. The Blue Raiders won 8 games last year and one of those wins came in Fort Collins by 15 points. They opened the season with two paycheck games against SEC teams and took Missouri to the wire, a team that just beat Kansas State. If MSTU plays well on offense, they will win this game by double digits. Look for that to happen, especially since the Rams are in a prime letdown spot. |

10 Unit Play. Take #394 Alabama Crimson Tide over Ole Miss Rebels (3:30p.m., Saturday, September 23 CBS) TOP NCAA PLAY OF THE WEEK Many pundits and fans are throwing dirt on the grave of Alabama and Nick Saban, but I am not one of them. They have major issues at quarterback, but I feel they will right the ship on Saturday and win this game by double digits. Nick Saban is not a fan of Lane Kiffin, and he is 28-3 lifetime when facing his former assistants. Ole Miss never has a strong defense and tries to win most of their games by outscoring their opponents. They have beaten Alabama once in the past 16 meetings, and they just do not have the depth of a Nick Saban team. This is the game that Alabama will right the ship, and getting them at home with less than a touchdown is too good to pass up. |

09-23-23 | Auburn v. Texas A&M OVER 51 | 10-27 | Loss | -110 | 72 h 21 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #407 Over in Auburn Tigers @ Texas A&M Aggies (12p.m., Saturday, September 23 ESPN) These are two offensive minded teams with Hugh Freeze and Bobby Petrino calling plays for each team. The Aggies have put up points in all 3 of their games and are 14th in the country at 44 pointe per game. They could be 3-0 but turnovers did them in against Miami in Week 2. Auburn is not as polished with a first year coach but they are still averaging 39 points per game despite scoring just 14 point in Berkeley. Texas A&M playing at home should dictate the flow of this game and Jimo Fisher is all in on lighting up the scoreboard this season (to keep the boosters from buying him out). |

3 Unit Play. Take #972 Take Texas over Seattle (8:05p.m., Friday, September 22 MLB.tv) This is a battle for the AL West, as two of the three teams involved in the pennant chase are playing tonight at Glode Life Field. Texas has dominated Seattle this season, winning 5 of the 6 meetings and outscoring them 36-18 in those games. Dane Dunning is coming off a solid outing las time out against Cleveland throwing 5 shutout innings. Texas needs to win this series at home expect them to take game one in dominating fashion. |

7 Unit Play. Take 682 Ottawa Redblacks over Saskatchewan Roughriders (Friday, Sept. 22, 7:00 PM CBSSN) Even though the Redblacks are in the midst of a 7-game losing streak, we like for them to rebound and stop the bleeding here. They still have a better scoring offense (24 ppg vs. 21.2) AND a better scoring defense (27 ppg vs. 29.9) During this losing streak, the Roughriders beat Ottawa 26-24 in Saskatchewan. |

09-21-23 | Blue Jays v. Yankees -129 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 8 h 13 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #914 New York over Toronto (7:05p.m., Thursday, September 21 MLB.tv) The Yankees do not have much to play for, but Gerritt Cole has a great chance to win the Cy Young award. Look for the Yankees to use their best line-up this evening to give him a great chance to score some runs on offense. That is something the Yankees have struggled with much of the season but should be able to get good swings against Jose Berrios. He has pitched better of late against bottom feeder teams, but I do not see him shutting down the Yankees on Thursday. New York has a knack for salvaging games to avoid being swept and expect that to happen tonight at the stadium. |

09-20-23 | Mariners v. A's OVER 8 | Top | 6-3 | Win | 100 | 5 h 5 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #969 Over in Seattle @ Oakland (3:37p.m., Wednesday, September 20 MLB.tv) Just feel that one of these pitchers is going to get lit up today at the Coliseum. Geroge Kirby has not been the same pitcher of late, giving up 4 runs in each of his last 3 starts. His last 5 starts have all gone over today’s posted number. His counterpart is Joey Estes, a pitcher making his MLB debut. His number in the hitter friendly Triple A were not good and I expect the Mariners to hit him hard second time through the lineup. Oakland swing the bats decent last night against tough competition and I feel they will be able to score 4-5 runs in this game and that should put us in good shape to hit the over. |

4 Unit Play. Take #923 Seattle (-1.5 RL) over Oakland (9:40p.m., Tuesday, September 19 MLB.tv) The Mariners got a break last night with Texas and Houston blowing late leads. Now they have one of their aces on the mound and expect them to win and cover the run line against a bad Oakland team. Seattle has fattened up their record against Oakland this season and tonight should be no different. |

4 Unit Play. Take #758 Under in Atlanta @ Dallas (9p.m., Tuesday, September 19 ESPN) It look a ridiculous amount of first quarter points to have this game get over the posted total on Friday. I do not see that happening again and thus we will side with the under. In the last 9 meetings between Atlanta and Dallas, they under has collected 7 times. That includes the under cashing 5 of the last 7 games in Dallas. |

3 Unit Play. Take #964 Houston (-1.5 RL) over Baltimore (8:10p.m., Monday, September 18 MLB.tv) Houston has been going through the motions of late against bad teams, but should be up for this series against the best team in the American League. Baltimore is coming off a hard-fought series against Tampa Bay and expect a letdown in this game. Justin Verlander will get back on track and Houston will win this game comfortably. |

4 Unit Play. Take #286 Denver Broncos over Washington Commanders (4:25p.m., Sunday, September 17 CBS) The Broncos cannot afford to lose two straight games at home to open up the 2023 season. The Commanders did not look much better beating an Arizona team at home by just 4 points. That is a Cardinal team many people believe is tanking this season. The home team is this matchup has won 5 straight games and gone 4-1 ATS. QB Wilson is better than QB Howell and Denver will dig deep to win this game by double digits. |

09-16-23 | Astros -142 v. Royals | 8-10 | Loss | -142 | 9 h 42 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #969 Houston -145 over Kansas City (7:10p.m., Saturday, September 16 MLB.tv) The Astros bats went cold on Friday when they could not get a big hit. Despite winning, Kansas City taxed their bullpen last night and look for that to show up in this game on Saturday night. Houston got lucky last night with Texas and Seattle both losing, but they cannot afford to start 1-4 in their last 5 games against Oakland and Kansas City. Houston is 8-1 in their last 9 road games. J.P. France is coming off a solid outing last time out against San Diego, throwing a quality start of 6 innings and just 1 earned run. Now he gets to face a much lighter hitting lineup in Kansas City on Saturday. |

09-16-23 | Tennessee v. Florida +6.5 | Top | 16-29 | Win | 100 | 54 h 51 m | Show |
7 Unit Play. Take #176 Florida Gators over Tennessee Volunteers (7p.m., Saturday, September 16 ESPN) The SEC appears to be way down this season and giving this many points on the road is not a recipe for success. Florida has dominated this series, winning 16 of the last 18 matchups. Tennessee has not won in Gainesville since 2003. Tennessee was loaded last year and still only beat Florida by 5 points in 2022 and that game was in Knoxville. The underdog has dominated Florida games going 14-3 ATS in their last 17 lined games. This is a rivalry game and Florida should be motivated to put on a good show and get their coach and quarterback off the hot seat. |

09-16-23 | San Diego State v. Oregon State -24 | 9-26 | Loss | -110 | 74 h 38 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #156 Oregon State Beavers over San Diego State Aztecs (3:30p.m., Saturday, September 16 FS1) The Beavers and Cougars are wrecking havoc in the nonconference season, especially when play a conference they may be forced to join next season. Oregon State has pounded opponents in two straight games giving up only 24 combined points in those affairs. The Aztecs played a home game last week against UCLA and gave up 550 totals yards of offense. This Beavers team is better on both sides of the play than UCLA and they are at home for this game. Oregon State is on an 8-0 ATS run, and San Diego State is never a strong team on offense under Brady Hoke. Lay the wood in this game. |

7 Unit Play. Take #648 Under in Atlanta Dream at Dallas Wings (9:30p.m., Friday, September 15 ESPN2) Playoff basketball is a different animal, and these two teams are very similar. Look for this game to be played in the high seventies or low eighties and that will allow us to cash this ticket. Atlanta has gone under the posted total in their last 3 games. The under has hit 5 of the last 6 games these two teams have played in Dallas. The under has hit 7 of the last 8 meetings between Atlanta and Dallas. |

3 Unit Play. Take #921 Houston (-1.5 RL) over Kansas City (8:10p.m., Friday, September 15 MLB.tv) I am shocked that Zack Greinke is still in the league and his 1-15 mark is very impressive. His opponent is Cristian Javier and he gets ger run support and that will be the difference in this game tonight. Sooner or later, the Houston offense will explode and we will collect in the big way. |

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Take #110 Maryland Terrapins over Virginia Cavilers (Friday, September 15 FS1) Maryland came out flat last week against before turning it on in the second half. Look for that to carryover into this game against a deflated team that is a power 5 team in name only. Virginia should have beaten James Madison last week but fell apart in the fourth quarterback being outscored 12-0 to lose by a point. Now they travel north to play an old rival and expect Maryland to win this game by 20+ points. Do not miss out on Doc’s Sports weekend card featuring plays in MLB, NFL, NCAAF, WNBA, and more.

2 Unit Play. Take #103 Minnesota Vikings over Philadelphia Eagles (8:15p.m., Thursday, September 14 Prime) Everyone expected regression from the Vikings this season, as they won a ton of close games in 2022. We only need a close game tonight to win money and do not expect a blowout. Philadelphia did not look good last week and losing both coordinators from their Super Bowl team in 2022 may have caught up with them. |

6 Unit Play. Take #955 Arizona +105 over New York (4:10p.m., Thursday, September 14 MLBN) The Diamondbacks are in the heat of a playoff race and should never be an underdog to the Mets. Arizona has one of their two aces on the mound in Merrill Kelly and he has been solid all season and today should be no different. The Mets have been one of the most disappointing teams in 2023 and we will fade them when the time is right, especially when they are a favorite. |

5 Unit Play. Take #920 Houston (-1.5 RL) over Oakland (7:10p.m., Wednesday, September 13 MLB.tv) Oakland is not sweeping Houston at Minute Maid Park. The Astros have been dominated in the first two games, not hitting at all. They cannot afford to be swept by the Athletics, as they still have in a battle for the division and wild card. Paul Blackburn is the best Oakland has to offer, but he still has a 1.51 E.R.A. and he will not be able to pitch out of trouble in this game. Houston has been a -290 favorite three straight games and they are not going to lose all 3 of them to the worst team in the league. We will side with the Run Line and expect a blowout on getaway day. |

3 Unit Play. Take #965 New York +120 over Boston (7:10p.m., Tuesday, September 12 TBS) We are playing the Yankees in both games at an underdog price. Remember to play action in all selections this season. Both teams are out of it, and I feel the Yankees will at least win one of these games. The pitchers for the most part are not any good, but the Yankees pitched well on Sunday and look for that to carryover into this game. |

7 Unit Play. Take #924 Houston (-1.5 RL) over Oakland (8:10p.m., Monday, September 11 MLB.tv) Getting the best team in the American League at this price on the run line is too good to pass up. The Astros easily collected for us over the weekend on a pair of underdog prices and tonight should be no different. Oakland is terrible and 20-52 on the road this season. Mason Miller has not pitched badly in limited action, but he will be overwhelmed by this Astros lineup. This will allow Framber Valdez to keep his hot streak going and record his third straight victory. Look for Houston to dominate this series and it will start on Monday. Houston has beaten Oakland 10 of the last 11 games. |

09-10-23 | Cowboys v. Giants +3.5 | 40-0 | Loss | -115 | 122 h 43 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #480 New York Giants over Dallas Cowboys (8:20p.m., Sunday, September 10 NBC) The Giants have been terrible in the division of late, but I feel Dallas is once again overvalued and we will grab the points. New York finished last season strong covering the spread in 6 of their final 7 games. The Giants had a good draft on paper and Dallas lost their offensive coordinator from last season. Just do not believe Dallas is going to come into MetLife Stadium on Sunday Night Football and blowout the home team. |

3 Unit Play. Take #978 Houston (-1.5 RL) over San Diego (2:10p.m., Sunday, September 10 MLB.tv) This is the rubber game of this series and look for the Astros to win it and cover the run line behind J.P. France. San Diego has a great lineup, but they are not playing to their potential this season and they are one of the most disappointing teams in all of baseball. They are starting a young pitcher with not much experience and has not looked good with this limited action (5.12 E.R.A.). Houston wants to win the division and secure a bye and they cannot afford to lose these series at home. |

09-10-23 | 49ers v. Steelers +2.5 | 30-7 | Loss | -110 | 114 h 24 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #466 Pittsburgh Steelers over San Francisco 49ers (1p.m., Sunday, September 10 FOX) Mike Tomlin just wins games and I will ride him in the opener against a suspect team in San Francisco. I am not sold on the 49ers quarterback situation and actually feel Pittsburgh is in better shape with Kenny Pickett under center. The Steelers went 4-1 ATS against NFC teams in 2022. Nick Bosa is still unsigned and I am not expecting much from him if he decides to show up. That is a major loss for the 49ers defense and they are just not the same team without him. Pittsburgh is 7-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 9 games as a home underdog. |

4 Unit Play. Take Maryland Terrapins over Charlotte 49ers (7:30p.m., Saturday, September 9 NBC) Maryland usually beats up on teams in nonconference play and tonight should be no different. Chalotte is an inexperienced team in 2023 with a ton of transfer but that does not mean they are talented transfers that were sought out by other teams. The 49ers were terrible on defense last year and look for Taulia Tagovailoa to pick apart this team for 60 minutes. |

09-09-23 | Texas v. Alabama -7 | 34-24 | Loss | -110 | 97 h 41 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #384 Alabama Crimson Tide over Texas Longhorns (7p.m., Saturday, September 9 ESPN) Alabama has been hearing all summer long how they are not the same dominating team as they were in the past and Georgia has clearly surpassed them. Texas did not look good on offense early and I believe Alabama will dominate the line of scrimmage in this game. The Crimson Tide are 13-2 ATS (1 push) in their last 16 nonconference games against Power 5 teams. This is a coaching mismatch and Coach Sark is 0-3 ATS when he is a road underdog while at Texas. The Longhorns played well last season against Alabama and still lost and I see them losing by double digits tonight in Tuscaloosa. |

3 Unit Play. Take #930 Houston (-1.5 RL) +160 over San Diego (7:10p.m., Saturday, September 9 MLBN) Houston needs to put it together in their home games and tonight should be that night. Cristian Javier receives a ton of run support this season and is 9-3 on the year. Seth Lugo is not the same pitcher against good team and Houston may be the best team in the American League. |

3 Unit Play. Take Houston over San Diego (8:10p.m., Friday, September 7 MLB.tv) Houston is not the same team playing at home, but they are on fire and scoring a ton of runs. Getting them at this price tonight against a team that is out of the wild card race is too good to pass up. The pitching matchup favors San Diego, but the Astros just pounded a great starter on Wednesday and it would not surprise me if they lite up Blake Snell tonight. |

I don’t think the pitchers matter, as these two teams are heading in opposite directions. Houston is hitting the ball all over the place and I just do not believe Texas can keep up. Getting this underdog price with Houston is too good to pass up. |

5 Unit Play. Take #923 Houston -110 over Texas (8:05p.m., Tuesday, September 5 TBS) The Rangers are a sinking ship and Houston is a much better team when playing on the road. Houston has won 6 straight road games and they can come from behind unlike any other team in the league. Framber Valdez is back on the mound on Tuesday, and we cashed a top play with him last week. He was staked to a big lead in that game and expect more of the same on Tuesday. Nathan Eovaldi has been out for close to 50 days with an injury and I just am not expecting much from him tonight. |

09-04-23 | Phillies v. Padres OVER 9 | Top | 9-7 | Win | 100 | 8 h 44 m | Show |
Remember to play all MLB games this year as action 10 Unit Play. Take #957 Over in Philadelphia Phillies @ San Diego Padres (6:40p.m., Monday, September 4 MLBN) Just believe that one of tonight’s starting pitchers is going to get pounded. Both starting pitchers have been hit hard of late and Rich Hill should not even be in the league anymore. I am amazed that he gets anybody out with his stuff and his 1.50 WHIP. These teams have met four times this season and all four of those games have gone over tonight’s posted number (5 straight times dating back to 2022). Both teams have a ton of home run hitters up and down their lineup and the Padres are playing better of late having swept the Giants over the weekend. But ultimately this play comes down to pitching and I just do not believe they can be dominate against both lineups. |

Toronto's scoring differential is +11.22, while Hamilton's is -6.10. The Args are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games, and 4-2 in the L/6 games at the TiCats. Take the favorite here. |

The Sparks still have a ton of injuries and just one great player. That will not be enough tonight to keep this game close. |

They are just 35-33 at home but have the right man on the mound tonight. Cristian Javier gets a ton of run support on the season and is 9-2. Look for Houston to jump out early and avoid another sweep at home. |

7 Unit Play. Take 673 OVER 48 in Winnipeg Jets at Saskatchewan Roughriders (Sunday, Sept. 3rd, 7 p.m. CBSSN) Winnipeg has struggled ATS in its last 5 games, going 2-3 ATS in that stretch. But they haven't struggled scoring in the least, averaging 36.4 ppg while allowing 18.4 ppg. The Roughriders are on the opposite end of that spectrum, surrendering 28.4 ppg while putting up 18.4 ppg. The Jets have gone over 30 points in seven of their games. They could cover the over themselves, but figure to get a wee bit of help for the Roughriders. Either way, expect an offensive display in Sunday night's game. |

3 Unit Play. Take #223 Over in West Virginia Mountaineers @ Penn State Nittany Lions (7:30p.m., Saturday, September 2 NBC) Hopefully we will not have to hear that annoying promo anymore, as the Big 10 now plays games on NBC. West Virginia has a coach on the hot seat, and it is important that Neal Brown make progress this season, especially on the offensive side of the football. West Virginia did average 31 points per game and if they come close to that mark in Happy Valley we should easily collect on this ticket. Penn State returns 8 starters on offense and should be able to move up and down the field in this game. This total has been dropping all week and now the value squarely lies with the over. |

3 Unit Play. Take #972 Houston (-1.5 RL) +110 over New York (7:10p.m., Saturday, September 2 MLB.tv) The Yankees hit some home runs last night, including two in the first inning and never looked back. But they are still a paid offensive team and have a pitcher on the mound tonight that is a shell of his former self. The Astros are not the same team at home this season as they are on the road, but they cannot afford to lose a series to the Yankees. Look for their bats to come alive tonight and win this game over the run line. |

09-02-23 | Washington State v. Colorado State +11.5 | 50-24 | Loss | -110 | 78 h 7 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #194 Colorado State Rams over Washington State Cougars (7p.m., Saturday, September 2 CBBSN) The Rams need/should be better in 2023 under Jay Norvell in his second season. Washington State has been told all summer that they are not wanted and eventually that will take its toll on this team. They also host Wisconsin on deck, so there could be a look ahead factor in this game. Coach Norvell is 9-3 ATS as a home underdog in his coaching career. They return starters on both sides of the football and they should be much better on offense in year two of this system. Look for both team to feel each other out early in this game and if it is lower scoring, that should benefit the double-digit underdog. |

The Badgers have a lot of excitement around them, but I am not sure they will be able to fix all of their offensive woes in one offseason. Wisconsin has gone under the posted total in 4 of their last 5 games. The Badger defense should overpower this Buffalo team and expect a combined score in the high forties.

09-01-23 | Stanford v. Hawaii UNDER 58.5 | 37-24 | Loss | -110 | 58 h 8 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #156 Under in Stanford Cardinal @ Hawaii Rainbow Warriors (11p.m., Friday, September 1 CBBSN) Stanford is set to open up the season at a high school stadium in Honolulu, HI. The Warriors backdoored their way to a cover against Vanderbilt last Saturday and now must travel across the mainland back to Hawaii for a Friday night home game. The point spread has come down, as people are starting to realize Stanford does not have much talent left on the roster. Feel that both teams will struggle to reach 30 points and thus this is a strong play with the under. We will not worry about won wins this game and just focus on the total. |

09-01-23 | Yankees v. Astros -1.5 | 6-2 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 48 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #924 Houston (-1.5 RL) +120 over New York (8:10pm., Friday, September 1 Amazon Prime) We have cleaned up with the Astros all this week and will not deviate for that winning formula on Friday. Houston is just a better team than New York, especially on the offense side. The Astros have a stacked line-up and they are throwing Justin Verlander tonight at home. He always gets up facing the Yankees. Expect a blowout and we will collect big. |
|||||||
09-01-23 | Wings v. Fever +5.5 | 110-100 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 37 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #648 Indiana +5.5 over Dallas (7p.m., Friday, September 1 ION) Both teams have some injury issues for this game, and I believe it will go right down to the wire. These teams met earlier in Indiana, and it was a one-point game. Dallas tends to play to their level of competition and tonight should be no different. The Wings are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games against teams with a losing record. The Fever are 3-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 5 home games. The Fever have won 4 straight games and look for that to continue on Friday, as they keep their winning streak going. |
|||||||
08-30-23 | Astros -133 v. Red Sox | 7-4 | Win | 100 | 5 h 24 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #916 Houston over Boston (4:10p.m., Wednesday, August 30 ESPN+) The Astros are going for the sweep of the Red Sox on Wednesday and expect them to get it. We used them in the first two games of this series as underdogs and now will back them as a slight favorite. Framber Valdez got back on track in his last start against Detroit and expect him to follow that up with another strong performance on Wednesday. Boston is out of the wild card race, and I do not see them finishing the season strong or with an above .500 record. Houston has the better bats and is the hotter team at the moment. |
|||||||
08-29-23 | Astros +112 v. Red Sox | 6-2 | Win | 112 | 9 h 31 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #965 Houston over Boston (7:10p.m., Tuesday, August 29 MLB.tv) J.P. France got lit up against Boston last week, but sometimes the best thing is to get back on the mound against the same team. That will occur tonight and expect a much better outing from him on Tuesday. Much like last night, getting Houston at an underdog price is too good to pass up. |
|||||||
08-29-23 | Lynx +6.5 v. Mystics | 72-83 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 21 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #635 Minnesota over Washington (7p.m., Tuesday, August 29 NBA TV) Washington is starting to get some players back, but I am not yet ready to crown them as one of the top teams in the WNBA. They got up for playing Las Vegas last time out, but they are still inconsistent and I do not expect them to blow out Minnesota on Tuesday. Minnesota is 42-18 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 62 games against teams with a losing record. Washington is 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games against Western Conference teams. |
|||||||
08-28-23 | Astros +120 v. Red Sox | 13-5 | Win | 120 | 8 h 13 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #915 Houston over Boston (7:10p.m., Monday, August 28 MLB.tv) No bet with Houston has an underdog is a bad bet. They scored 17 runs yesterday and have payback on their minds after getting blown out by Boston last Thursday by a score of 17-1. Cristian Javier has pitched better of late and he has gotten a ton of run support this season. Chris Sale is not the same pitcher that he once was and a left hander at Fenway Park is always a dangerous proposition. |
|||||||
08-28-23 | Aces v. Liberty -1 | Top | 85-94 | Win | 100 | 8 h 2 m | Show |
7 Unit Play. Take #624 New York Liberty over Las Vegas Aces (7p.m., Monday, August 28 ESPN2) We will follow the line movement in this game and expect the Liberty to take care of business at home and move closer to earning the No. 1 seed in the 2023 WNBA Playoffs come September. Four of the Five losses the Aces have suffered have come on the road the Liberty have proven they can beat the Aces on the road already this season. They also have the best player in the game in Breanna Stewart and the Aces have struggled a little without Candance Parker coming off the bench. Las Vegas is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games. New York is 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games. These are the dog days of August for the Aces and expect them to lose this game by close to double-digits. |
|||||||
08-27-23 | Wings v. Mercury +9 | 77-74 | Win | 100 | 7 h 3 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #632 Phoenix over Dallas (6p.m., Sunday, August 27 NBA TV) This line may move depending on player availability, but whatever the line is it will be a small play on Phoenix. The Wings struggle to put away the bad teams in the league and tonight should be no different. Dallas is coming off back-to-back losses to Minnesota and I do not see them blowing out Phoenix in this game. |
|||||||
08-27-23 | Astros -1.5 v. Tigers | 17-4 | Win | 100 | 3 h 43 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #965 Houston (-1.5 RL) over Detroit (1:40p.m., Sunday, August 27 MLB.tv) This is the rubber game of the series and I expect the Astros to win it behind Justin Verlander. He is coming off one of his best performances of the season throwing 5 shutout innings against the Red Sox last time out. Look for him to continue this dominance against a former team of his in Detroit. The Astros bats came alive yesterday and look for that to carryover against Alex Faedo on Sunday. He has had some moments but facing this lineup will be his undoing. Houston is 4-1 in their last 5 road games against Detroit. |
|||||||
08-26-23 | Florida International v. Louisiana Tech -11 | 17-22 | Loss | -110 | 79 h 11 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #304 Louisiana Tech Bulldogs over FIU Golden Panthers (9p.m., Saturday, August 26 CBSSN) Generally the public does well with early season games in college football and we will follow the line movement and back the home favorite. The Golden Panthers got blown out in 4 of their 5 road games last year losing them by 29, 73, 38, and 34 points (they did beat NMSU). Sonny Cumbie is an offensive coach that should be able to pick apart this FIU team and light up the scoreboard. The Bulldogs have covered the spread in 5 straight home games. |
|||||||
08-26-23 | Cubs -127 v. Pirates | 10-6 | Win | 100 | 8 h 55 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #909 Chicago -130 over Pittsburgh (7:15p.m., Saturday, August 26 FOX) The Cubs got a well-pitched game last night, but their bats failed to show up and thus they suffered their first loss of 2023 to Pittsburgh. Things will get back to normal on Saturday, as the Cubs will win behind Javier Assad. He has a 1.25 WHIP and a nice 3.13 E.R.A. with over 72 innings pitched. His opponent is just starting his career in the big leagues and has been hit hard with the early sample size. The Cubs need to beat up on the bad teams and cannot let Milwaukee get any farther ahead in the standings. Chicago is 8-1 straight-up in their last 9 games against Pittsburgh. |
|||||||
08-26-23 | Aces v. Mystics OVER 168.5 | 62-78 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 41 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take Over 168.5 in Las Vegas @ Washington (7p.m., Saturday, August 26 NBA TV) Anytime you can get a total in the 160s with Las Vegas you must consider playing the over. Washington has gone over the posted total in 4 straight games against Western Conference teams. |
|||||||
08-25-23 | Calgary v. Toronto -9.5 | 31-39 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 1 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take 684 Toronto Argonauts -10 vs Calgary Stampeders (Friday, Aug. 25th, 7:30 p.m.) This line has opened at 8.5 and is now up to 10 in most places (9.5 in some)...and for good reason. Toronto's offense is the most prolific in the CFL this season, putting up 33.5 PPG while the defense allows 21.9 PPG. Calgary meanwhile is only scoring 21.7 PPG while giving up 25.5 PPG. The Args are 9-1 SU and ATS in their last 10 tilts and a perfect 5-0 SU and ATS at home. Take the home team and lay the points. |
|||||||
08-25-23 | Cubs -113 v. Pirates | 1-2 | Loss | -113 | 9 h 35 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #953 Chicago over Pittsburgh (7:05p.m., Friday, August 25 MLB.tv) The Cubs are just a better team than Pittsburgh is at the moment and getting them at this price is too good to pass up. Both pitchers have been hit at times this year, but the Pirates traded away much of their offensive firepower and that will be the difference in this game. The Cubs are 7-0 against the Pirates this season. |
|||||||
08-24-23 | Lynx +7.5 v. Wings | 90-81 | Win | 100 | 9 h 60 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #617 Minnesota over Dallas (8p.m., Thursday, August 24 local) We have seen Dallas struggle all season long with these back to back games facing the same team. We faded them on Tuesday and they lost outright and feel that this game will go down to the wire as well. |
|||||||
08-24-23 | Red Sox v. Astros -122 | 17-1 | Loss | -122 | 3 h 9 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #906 Houston over Boston (2:10p.m., Thursday, August 24 MLBN) The Astros are just a better all-around team than the Red Sox are. The Red Sox won last night but look for Houston to right the ship on Thursday and win the series. Getting J.P. France at this price is too good to pass up, as he has been rock solid all season with a 2.75 E.R.A. to go along with a 9-4 record. He has thrown back-to-back quality starts and allowed just two home runs in his last 7 starts. Brayan Bello has been solid as well, but his metrics are just not as strong as France. Jose Abreu came back last night, and this Houston lineup is just strong from top to bottom. Boston has been struggling on defense and all these factors lead to a strong play with the home team. |
|||||||
08-23-23 | Mercury v. Sparks OVER 153 | 62-91 | Push | 0 | 11 h 8 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #609 Over in Phoenix Mercury over Los Angeles Sparks (10p.m., Wednesday, August 23 CBSSB) The line has come down all morning due to the Mercury having players likely out. I actually like this play more and feel an up-tempo game will develop with a bunch of slow big players out of this game. The Sparks have gone over tonight’s posted number in 4 of their last 5 games. Both teams need to be better on offense and that should allow for more transition in this game. |
|||||||
08-23-23 | Red Sox v. Astros -105 | 7-5 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 17 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #966 Houston over Boston (8:10p.m., Wednesday, August 23 MLB.tv) If the Red Sox cannot win this game, they are not winning anything against Houston. I do not believe they will win this game despite Chris Sale on the mound. Their defense has been terrible of late and look for that to cost them against on Wednesday. |
